The ingrained urge to designate identities and particular behaviors into varying sects and categories still causes problems within any community. Today, this is most commonly seen in regards to gender identity, sexuality, religious background and practices, and ethnic…

his entire sermon one common ideal. Being born again is the only way to salvation. Articulating many puritan ideals about Gods vision of humans, he claims humans are instinctive sinners and we must change to escape the jaws of hell. Believing in predestination he emphasizes on this matter. But its central argument is not the most important aspect of this sermon.
